Elevating a Landmark Health Event
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) was preparing for its annual National Tribal Health Conference (NTHC), one of the most significant gatherings for Tribal health leaders and advocates nationwide. For the first time, NIHB sought to elevate the event experience by hiring a professional production company to manage the complexities of show calling, backstage operations, and digital signage. Their goal was to create a seamless, high-quality production that honored the importance of the event while keeping the focus on Tribal health advocacy.


The Pitch
From Vendor to True Partner
82 South positioned itself as more than just a production vendor — we became an onsite partner. Our team handled:
- Show Calling & Backstage Production: Coordinating speakers, stage transitions, and all technical cues to ensure a flawless run of show for the Plenary session and the Gala.
- Onsite Producer Role: Acting as the central hub between NIHB leadership, AV crews, and presenters.
- Digital Signage: Delivering branded digital signs throughout the venue to enhance wayfinding, agendas, and sponsor visibility.
By combining technical precision with creativity, 82 South designed an experience that reflected NIHB’s mission and kept attendees engaged.
The Results
A Seamless Success
The 2025 conference marked a milestone for NIHB — their first event with a professional production partner — and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees praised the seamless flow of the program, the clarity of information delivered through digital signage, and the polished feel of the general sessions.
NIHB leadership called the production “amazing” and highlighted how working with 82 South elevated both the professionalism and the attendee experience. The partnership set a new standard for their events moving forward, proving the value of investing in high-quality production support.
